Description
Not every cichlid tank needs a specialist diet. If you are running a mixed community of cichlids and other large tropical fish and simply want dependable daily nutrition without paying for targeted colour enhancement or a herbivore specific formula, Hikari Cichlid Staple is built for exactly that job.
It is an economical everyday growth diet made with quality natural ingredients, aimed at general feeding rather than a particular species requirement. That makes it a sensible base food for a tank of growing fish, or for anyone getting through a lot of food each week and wanting to keep the cost sane without dropping to a poor quality pellet.
Pellet size is where most people go wrong with cichlid food. Staple comes in Baby, Mini, Medium and Large, so match the pellet to the smallest mouths in the tank if your fish are mixed in size. Feed once or twice a day, offering only what the tank clears within a few minutes, and remove anything uneaten. Leftover food breaks down into ammonia, and ammonia is what turns a healthy cichlid tank into a sick one.
